Arizona softball shut out of another postseason run.
After making the NCAA Tournament every year since 1987, the Arizona softball team will not be participating this year.For the first time in 35 years, one of the elite programs — with eight national championships and 25 appearances in the Women's College World Series — is on the outside looking in.
The other eight regional hosts are Stanford, LSU, Arkansas, Northwestern, Texas, Georgia, Utah and Clemson. Despite the Wildcats playing their best ball of the season in the last three games — last Sunday’s 9-4 win over Cal in the regular season finale; the 13-4, five-inning rout of ASU in Wednesday’s play-in game for the first Pac-12 Softball Tournament; and their gutsy performance in a 4-3 loss to No. 1 seed UCLA on Thursday — they ended up being just a little too late to sway the committee.
Last season after another long losing skid, the Wildcats were one of the last four teams in and went on a magical run to the World Series. All three aspects of the game came together, especially with Hanah Bowen and Devyn Netz becoming one of the hottest pitching duos of the postseason.Arizona went through a rough patch that started when junior Carlie Scupin was hit by a pitch and broke her forearm. She had surgery and was out for six weeks before returning to the lineup.
Even though it is a disappointing end to their year and the Wildcats are missing out on another potential postseason run, there were still positives. Skaggs was an integral part of that fielding percentage with no errors in 162 chances. She had 88 putouts, 74 assists and participated in 10 double plays.
